What is it with you righties and the "hate" word? You guys use that word
a lot.

I don't "hate" the bible, Tim. I even like the King James version
because of its beautiful use of the English language. I will say,
though, that I'm not a fan of how some in this country "use" the bible
to "hate" people in groups they don't like.

This country has no state religion.



Well, that's been established for over 235 years. Did you think it would be overturned next week?


I know for a fact that there are many right-wing bible thumpers in this
country who are working hard to push their religious beliefs onto those
who believe differently. A good number of those thumpers are politicians.

No, I am not a theologian, but I did have as a college roommate for an

academic year a fellow who got his master's at Union Theological

Seminary, and was ordained an Episcopal priest. He got me to go to

Sunday Episcopal services on campus because, he claimed, they served
the

best Sunday student breakfast and had the best-looking coeds at their

services. He was right on both counts.

Of course there would be an alternate motive for going.


He and I argued some on issues religious. We're still close friends.



I have an M.A. in English, and my concentration was in etymology. As
for

your interpretations, you're just proving my point, that biblical

interpretation is in the mind of the beholder. There's nothing wrong or

intellectually dishonest about that, as long as one admits it.



I'm glad you told me. THANKS! But, you don't believe in the book
anyhow. so why make a big deal out of it? I mean, why are you trying
to interpret something something you don't believe in anyhow?


That's my question for atheists. Why fight so hard against something
that you firmly believe is
non-existent?

Why not fight against flying pigs?

It's hate.. and they need someone to blame for their failures...


Speaking of failures, here we have PsychoScotty, the ultimate failure.

It isn't about the flying pigs, it is about those who worship flying
pigs. Most people believe there are no flying pigs, so they don't
create thousands of flying pig denominations so that they can force
and or coerce their particular flying pig beliefs on others.

Odd how one makes perfect sense to you, while the other seems totally
ridiculous.

There are laws which prohibit the use of force to cram religion down your throat. What difference
should it make to you or any other stupid liberal what folks wish to worship? Some folks worship
rocks. Where are all the anti-rock people?

Sounds like you've got your spoofer head buried with the lil' Squirts head. Must be getting tight in
there.

No one is stopping you from "living it," whatever that means, so long as
you don't force others to believe as you do.

When was the last time you were 'forced' to do anything religious. Muslims are the ones doing the
'forcing' these days, and you seem to think they're God's gift to mankind.

Working hard and 'forcing' are two different things. There's nothing wrong with peacefully
attempting to persuade another to believe as one does. You do that several hundred times a week,
quite stupidly I might add.

Some Muslims (your darling children), on the other hand, tend to cut off heads and shoot folks who
don't wish to follow the 'rules'.

A lot less are pushing their religious belief on others than the group that
is forcing their political belief on others. You and your leftists are
that group!
